Why so long? I had previously documented on README 10 minutes at: 2eff007f7c3458be240c673c32bb33892a45d3a0 found with `git log` search for `10 minutes`. But then I checked out there, run it, and kernel panics before any messages come out. Lol?

* update gem5 to master 2a9573f5942b5416fb0570cf5cb6cdecba733392
* larger caches: `--l2cache --l1d_size=1024kB --l1i_size=1024kB --l2_size=1024kB --l3_size=1024kB`
One methodology problem is that some gem5 and QEMU were run with different kernel configs, due to <<gem5-qemu-config>>. This could have been improved if we normalized by instruction counts, but to do that we would have to enable tracing which makes QEMU run much slower.
